remember all those CD release shows we were telling you about? well, looks like our good friend Tim Pyles at 94/9 dug them too ... dug them so much in fact that EVERY SINGLE ALBUM is an FM 94/9 Recommended! and 3 out of 4 of these albums are nominated for best album awards!! (i'm guessing secret apollo didn't make the 6/30 deadline.... expect to see it next year for an SDMA though)
Let's Recap:
Matt Curreri and The Exfriends - "Joy of Life"
- 2008 SDMA "Best Pop Album" Nominee
Joanie Mendenhall - "On a String"
- 2008 SDMA "Best Pop Album" Nominee
Swim Party - "Pixie Dust on the Blood Range"
- 2008 SDMA "Best Alternative Album" Nominee
Secret Apollo - "Hiding Something Great"
- 2009 SDMA "Album of the Year" Nominee*
*this hasn't been confirmed, but i'm sure it'll be true in a year.
what does this mean? well sheesh. if you haven't already, you should be "doing the right thing" and be picking up a copy of each of these albums online or through your local independent record store. And of course picking up a copy of SDMA "best pop album" nominee With Friends Like These from our website.
Also, props to Apes of Wrath's "Plastic Fake and Frozen" for a 2008 SDMA "Best Alternative Album" Nomination. we played their CD release show for this record back in March. We were excited to have been a part of that day, and now continuing to see this bad boy succeed.
so what should you keep your precious eyes peeled for next? keep em tuned to the whistlestop for a double-header of release shows:
Aug 22nd - The Donkeys "Living on the Other Side" CD Release show - check it!
Aug 29th - Writer "Blood Drops" CD Release Show - 2008 SDMA "Best New Artist" Nominee
